    Stedman Bailey has 12 more catches (20 total) than Chris Givens.

    Lance Kendricks has the most TD catches with 4.

    The Rams have as many rushing TDs as opponents (10), one more passing TD than opponents (16-15) and the same amount of return TDs (1). But, they have been outpaced by 8-3 in defensive TDs.

    Looking at the two fill-in QBs this year, Austin Davis has a higher QBR (85.1 to Shaun Hill’s 81.3) and better completion percentage (63.4 to 59.6). They have identical TD to INT ratios (Davis threw 12 and 9, Hill has 4 and 3). The biggest difference is likely the bad decisions by Davis to hold onto the ball and take sacks or throw ill-advised passes returned for TDs.

    Yep.

    Davis: 29 sacks in 8 1/2 games.

    Hill: 6 sacks in 3 1/2 games.

    I know you were just noting that as this interesting thing and not making any kind of case. But still, this to me shows that just doing raw averages doesn’t tell you much.

    So for example if you compare Davis’s 1st 3 games then his last 3, they are vastly different.

    Example, using traditional qb ratings (I tend not to use QBR)…

    Davis’s first 3 games … 91.3 qb rating, completion percentage 71%
    Davis’s last 3 games … 60.8 qb rating, completion percentage 57.28%

    Raw averages hide that difference.
